James and Oliver Phelps Launch the Harry Potter Exhibition!

Harry Potter: The Exhibition opens at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney on Saturday, and today media were invited to preview the exhibition. Special guests James and Oliver Phelps, who played Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films, were on hand for the event, where they answered questions in front of the Gryffindor uniforms they wore and posed for photos inside a replica of Hagrid’s Hut. The actor brothers, who have gone back to their natural brown hair instead of the red they sported for the movies, said people who came to the Sydney exhibition would be in for a treat as it’s the first time the Deathly Hallows have been on display following the DVD and Blu-ray release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II (which you can win with extra merchandise in our competition). Earlier in the year, the Powerhouse Museum brought out Matthew Lewis for a smaller launch of the exhibition, which features props and costumes from the beloved film franchise.
